"Devil May Cry" huh?

Is there a story behind that name?

[halfdevil]

someone told me once that i was so good at my job that i would even make the devils cry.

not bad, huh.

[alpha_hale]

Your job deals with devils. That's something I have yet to hear.

[halfdevil]

dont get the rumors mixed up with the truth.

[alpha_hale]

Sounds like this used to be a personal business you used to run, seeing that you're hiring.

[halfdevil]

a personal business without a sign.

[allthezpms]

So, what kind of services will you be providing?

[halfdevil]

detective services. things the police aint really ready for.

[allthezpms]

Such as...?

[halfdevil]

think about the things the law cant do and you can figure it out.

[allthezpms]

Well, that could be a lot of things. But I think I have a good idea.

[johannamason]

Maybe the kid needs the job experience.

[halfdevil]

nah he spends all the cash on frilly clothes and purses shaped like barnyard animals

[notdogmatic]

What hours would someone need to work in this position?

[halfdevil]

what. you really interested.

[notdogmatic]

I believe a greater income will be an asset to me.

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Ah - where might I apply for such a position?

[halfdevil]

down at the office. you'll see the sign.

action? or shall we just assume he applied?

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

Ah - I'll be right over, then. [When Haruhi showed up, as he had no doubt she would, he would certainly need a larger budget than his stipend to keep her entertained and to be able to adequately respond to all her whims.]

i am a down duck.

[the place is ... interesting. a warehouse, set between two larger buildings. if it wasn't for the address matching the address that was given, it would have been a little unbelievable that this was anything but an abandoned warehouse. the neon red lights bearing the name "Devil May Cry" flickered and buzzed. there were two heavy double doors with antique handles that didn't look like they quite matched.]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

[Koizumi walked in, interested but unconcerned, running his hand down one of the antique handles before opening the door.]

Hello? Dante-san?

[halfdevil]

[The whole outfit is spaciously decorated. On the wall there's scattered rock posters, some of them faded beyond recognition. There's an old Victorian couch and a dirty rug, and tucked behind the set a small olive-colored refrigerator covered in novelties and magazine clippings. It's so large, that the pool table hardly stands out. But the in dead center of the room there's a desk and a guy. The guy is lounging with his feet up on the desk, looking like he's taking a nap, even if he's expecting company.]

[dontmindmepleasecontinue]

[Koizumi walks slowly across the room, making sure to take in everything about the room they're in. He stops a few steps behind the desk, looking at the man behind it.]

Ah, I hope I didn't come at a bad time. Dante-san?

[tiiger]

What kind of business?

[halfdevil]

i'm a detective, man.

[tiiger]

Well, we could definitely use a detective! Maybe now you can do some investigation and find a way for us to get back home.

[halfdevil]

that a joke

[tiiger]

... Uh, no. I'm being serious here.

[halfdevil]

ive been here over a year, dude.

the barrier goes down to the bottom of the ocean. checked with my own eyes.

[tiiger]

...Okay, that's a pretty long time.

BUT.

We shouldn't give up!

[halfdevil]

got a plan?

[30languagesofbeer]

You're lookin for a secretary? I make a mean cuppa coffee.

[halfdevil]

that right? why dont you come by.

[nicevampireguy]

Looks nice, man. Congrats.

[halfdevil]

surprising what a little neon signage will do.
